Nicolosi hotellia

Plussat: The B&B is very centrally located. That is all the positive thing I can say about it.

Miinukset: 1. The owner changed the address of the facility but never informed us. It took us (both sixty plus) almost two hours with two large suitcases to find the B&B facility. The actual B&B where he made us stay was named differently (B&B Catania Etna) and was located at a different address (via Etnea, 198) than the address provided through 'booking.com'. A photo of the property front is attached here. 2. The owner does not accept any credit cards for payments. 3. The room was stuffy and the a/c didn't work properly.

Plussat: Clean and central

Plussat: This b&b is simply amazing...location is fabulous, right in the heart of via Etnea. Staff offer a great service and the rooms are super clean..definately recommended. Tasha, Malta.

Plussat: The location it was perfect and reachable for shopping and restaurants even for the public transport.but from the booking.com the hotel address is writen 290 via etnea but they told us that 3 years ago moved to same street but the nbr was 196.so if you please arrange it .I,m very satisfied for my staying in b&b massimo

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Mosquitoes in the room and the host didn't even react to do something about it.

Plussat: Nice staff, breakfast was okay, nice room and view.

Miinukset: Wrong adress on the booking so we had problems with finding the b&b.

Plussat: You get good value for money. The room is very small. There is no coffee corner. Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop, coffe and croissant only. Excellent location. Small room.

Plussat: Kindness of the staff, cleanliness of the property and the fact we had a free, safe parking nearby.

Miinukset: Nothing special to say.

Plussat: Excellent, quiet location with available parking; the main street as well as the best restaurants in Nicolosi are within a few minutes walking distance. Giorgio, the host, is friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Breakfast is limited to bread, jam, croissants, coffee, milk & juice. No other negative comments.

Plussat: Great location also without the car. Kindly owner and staff, good WiFi service, nice space indoor and outdoor

Miinukset: Il materasso del letto matrimoniale non è molto comodo

Plussat: Good starting point to visit Etna. Quiet location

Plussat: Spacious bedrooms, environment of the house, heating, breakfast, parking, staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: Towels, mattresses, no shower cap, only one kettle shared between 2 apartments

Plussat: Clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, quite area with good parking space for those using a car. Owners are adorable and always available to help and assist. We checked in late and they remained waiting for us. They also kept our luggage as our flight back home was late in the evening.

Plussat: It is a small villa surrounded by a garden in a private road in a quiet area. Parking infront of the gate always available. The host veru friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent

Plussat: Check-in was done so nicely and calm. Sat down with coffee and the most delicious freshly baked pieces of cake and everything taken care of. The owners are two of the most lovely people we’ve probably ever stayed with, very attentive to all of their guests. The breakfast was out of this world, we always left with very full bellies in the morning! Both sweet and savoury options available. Parking is good, spacious and secure.

Plussat: Everything was perfect and more than expected. Family oriented and they really care for the guests. They are always available and stand by at the lodging. Breakfast was the best I ever had while in Sicily. Definitely will return.

Plussat: The hosts are very friendly ,helpfull and the place is clean and very welcoming. Rooms are spacious and the breakfast is very good.

Plussat: Amazing place! Most welcoming hosts, nice house, great location (close to the city center of Nicolosi, good place to start your Etna trip). We had breakfasts in few different places during our stay on Sicily, but here it was second to none. Room was comfortable and clean, as well as bathroom. Several different towels provided, mini-fridge available, room temperature already set, so we didn't have to freeze first half an hour or so. What else you can hope for?!

Plussat: The host was super nice and friendly. Breakfast was really good and varied daily Room was very clean and spacious Accommodation close to centre yet location is very quite

Miinukset: Wifi was not working from our room

Plussat: The host was really nice and helpful. The breakfast was rich. Since we were the only guests on this day, we got also extra croissants for our Etna tour. You can see, that renting apartments is not only a job for the host, but she loves to do it. Highly recommended!!!

Miinukset: Everything was super!

Plussat: Very clean and helpful staff. Will visit again.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Parking facility?

Plussat: The location is really great. Just 15mins by walk down to the city centre. If you reach there by flight then you can take Alibus at the airport (it operates even at night but google map doesn't show it operates at night). Take Alibus and get off at "Bellini" stop and then just several mins by walk, you will find this apartment. The room is suitable for four persons and it's very clean and cozy. The breakfast is also good but please don't expect it too much and it's mainly breads and cakes and coffee.

Miinukset: far away from the train station (around 25mins by walk)

Plussat: Hotel is very clean and in excellent location!

Miinukset: Only one thing....the woman at the reception told us to pay extra charge because she was stating that a child of 11 yo is not a child and we have to pay extra fee...when in fact we booked specifically the booking as ONE ADULT AND ONE CHILD ( 11 yo )....never experienced this situation any where in the world!

Plussat: The breakfast was super, the staff are very friendly, kind. They could keep our lagguages till afternoon (start to airport). Our room was quiet. The building is front of the bus stop, in the centrum. Super location. The train station by walk about 15-20 min. Thank you for the gift prosecco :-))

Plussat: Front desk awesome! Much help and coordination

Plussat: A fantastic location in central Catania. We were only staying to be close to the airport to fly out the next morning yet we had a great look around the city as we were so close to the centre of things. Plenty of things to do within a short distance and lots of options to eat that wonderful Sicilian food. Great olde-world Hotel that was perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing in particular.

Plussat: Exceeded our expectations - room was soo comfortable, big bed and lovely balcony with view down to the sea. Great breakfast and very clean. Even off road parking if you’re in a car, but good bus to Catania.

Plussat: Peaceful and quiet place. Very warm welcome by the owner, he gave us addresses for supermarket and dinner (biggest and best pizza ever!) Nice breakfast before going up the Etna.

Miinukset: Front desk was at the Hotel next door.

Plussat: Keskeinen sijainti. Lentokentän bussi pysähtyy aivan nurkalla.

Miinukset: Matkalaukun kantaminen portaissa kolmanteen kerrokseen on rankkaa.

Plussat: Loistosijainti.

Miinukset: Kova kiipeäminen matkalaukun kanssa ylös, ei hissiä.

Plussat: The location is central and the view is very beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. For parking we were redirected to a nearby safe location. I recommend parking because I had no problems although I forgot the bag in the car. Parking was paid.

Miinukset: Heating based on air conditioning. Bedside tables would have been necessary.

Plussat: In the center of Catania, spacious room with good facilities. Nice staff.

Miinukset: Nothing, good quality/price

Plussat: The kindness and lovelyness of the staff

Plussat: a beautiful home with a welcoming host

Plussat: We were welcomed by the owner Mr Alfio Tomaselli and his wife Mrs Pina who used to prepare our breakfast. They both made us feel at home. We do not hesitate to recommend this place to those who are looking for a safe, clean and quiet accomodation and we are sure to return in the not distant future

Plussat: Hosts, clean

Plussat: Everything location cleaniness and hosts were brilliant

Miinukset: Shower was to small

Plussat: Breakfast was good, location is safe and the hosts are extremely welcoming.

Plussat: Very friendly, supportive and hospitable hosts who care greatly about their guests.

Miinukset: Nothing to complain

Plussat: We had a warm welcome from all the very friendly and helpful staff on our return visit to B&B Opera. They provided us with gluten free breakfast options and we enjoyed the omelettes. Great central location, with many good local restaurants (B&B offer recommendations) and in easy walking distance to the station, bus station and to many places of interest. It's our 'home away from home' in Catania and we look forward to a return visit.

Plussat: Very, very nice place to stay! The rooms are so nice and the people are extraordinary friendly. The Cappuccino in the morning is perfect!

Plussat: Constantino has given us great recommendations about Catania. The Breakfast was excellent- and Jane the caretaker was extraordinary kind and caring. Overall, this was a beautiful stay with my three children in Catania.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The rooms were excellent, comfortable, and the breakfast supplied by Constantino's daughter was very good. But I would stay elsewhere on my next visit to Catania

Miinukset: The authoritarian attitude of Constantino, it is advertized as a B & B, ( a comfortable home away from home) , but its run under strict control. Its not a place I would go back to.

Plussat: clean well-decorated, friendly welcome

Miinukset: too many stairs, no easy car parking

Plussat: Nice small hotel with very welcoming owners. Everything was great

Plussat: The bed was wonderful. The terrace on the roof was lovely. It was an easy walk into the centre of Milo with its piazza and views. Most of all, the staff were extra pleasant and helpful.

Plussat: The location and convenience of the purpose of our trip. Less than 2 miles to the next town of Fornozzo.

Miinukset: The limited airconditioned option in the room. We just need the AC and air circulation but was limited. We have to open the windows to get cool air but have to shut it in the middle of the night due to street noise.

Plussat: Very cozy and homey with a friendly woman working there. Nice rood top terrace with a view.

Miinukset: There was a dog outside that barked late into the night and then started again from 5:30 in the morning until about 7:30 am. We all woke up totally exhausted. No worker stays there overnight, so you can't actually complain to none.

Plussat: Valentina was very helpful from the reservation, help to arrive, storing the bikes, arranging the door keys, preparing us tea, great breakfast. It was interesting to be left alone in the hotel. Thanks! Great views from room and balcony

Plussat: The hostel staff was great! I felt comfortable in the hostel. Everything was clean, I got good tips to visit the city. Luckily there was no plastic packed sugar sweet bun for breakfast. Nice people stayed with me.

Miinukset: Vegan spread would be nice for the breakfast.

Plussat: Had a very unforgettable experience there! The roommates,the reception,the boss and every where there are so great!

Plussat: Great common room and nice breakfast

Miinukset: A little too loud party at the hole downstairs :)

Plussat: The best hostel I stayed in Sicily. For breakfast there was f.ex. cheese, not only sweet stuff like in other hostels. I got a welcome drink at arrival. Staff was amazing friendly. There was offered free pasta in the evening, only sauce had to be braught self. Great

Plussat: The staff is very welcoming and genuine. They offered me to sit with them to eat dinner and were super friendly. The premises are awesome, it could be a perfect spot if they solve this problem.

Miinukset: BED BUGS. I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad news because the staff is very kind and goes as far as they can to make you feel at home but there are bed bugs in the room. It was the first night of my trip, so I couldn't have gotten 20-25 red bites in my legs, arms and neck anywhere else. I'm not the first one to report on this problem. I hope they do something about it, it's becoming a big one for travelers around Europe and it can potentially ruin your trip.

Plussat: would rate this place about 7,5 if there were no bugs. It’s close to the center.

Miinukset: It could be a good place but the fact of the bedbugs in my room made it the worst stay of my life(I travel a lot) and it destroyed my whole week in beautiful Sicily

Plussat: You can store all values in the metal safe. Big hall for any activity - ping pong, games etc

Miinukset: Mattress is too soft for me. No lockers.

Plussat: Employees ok! Big beds!

Miinukset: Pics with bed curtains, in reality they don't exist! Quiet for sleep, if you have ear plugs! Small bathroom but always free.

Plussat: Very nice place, great breakfast, perfect localization, really helpful staff. We were really glad to stay there. It was great that tea and water are available for guest for free 24h

Miinukset: No curtains at the beds

Plussat: Extremely central location vlose to many restaurants and bars and just outside of the main square.

Miinukset: The room was so hot we couldn't sleep. The AC in the room was set up to 16 degrees throught the whole night but it felt like there was no cooling at all and we could barely sleep due to the heat.

Plussat: Everything was great! Carmelo is great! He helps with any issue, gives great advice, tells history, and take care of his guests! Hi recomended!

Miinukset: A little bit hard for parking, but Carmelo helps. Just ask!

Plussat: Thank You Carmelo.

Plussat: Very central location, near all of the main attractions. Anyone good on their feet can easily travel about Catania from this location. If you have a car Carmelo is excellent at helping you find a location to park. Carmelo gave out his personal contact information so that you could reach him for help at any time.

Plussat: Mr. Carmelo and his brother with the staff Christian were very helpful and nice. The location of B&B is more than perfect ( city centre) . With all my heart we recomend this accomodation.

Plussat: Location super central! Extremely professional and welcoming owner. Clean and large room and bathroom with personality. Good price. Very quiet aircon that you control yourself. Cool UNESCO listed building. Lots of charm.

Miinukset: Very noisy - old building, could hear neighbour's every word, and the fan, flush, footsteps etc. from rooms adjacent and above. Also people coming and going outside my door. A few times it was so loud I thought somebody was actually IN my room. But street noise was really limited, and with earplugs you would probably be fine.

Plussat: Excellent location, great communication with Carmelo, room was in nice sicilian style :)

Miinukset: Although double window, I heard noises from a bar, which is located very close.

Plussat: The size of the room was great and the location of the room couldn't be any more central. The bedding was ever so comfortable.

Miinukset: Be ready for 2 flight of stairs. The planks of the bedroom platform were squeaking all night as soon as you moved in your bed. The shower enclosure needs some maintenance

Plussat: From all my heart I can recommend the Miro B&B hotel ! I will never forget what Lucia and Roberta ( hotel owners) have done for me. on second day of my stay in Sicily I got unwell, had complications with my pregnancy. Wen I asked Lucia via text if she knows address of emergency Hospital in Catania, she replied straight away. Then suddenly by my surprise ,she appeared in the hospital next to us like an angel from the heaven. She helped me and my mum with all translating and stayed with us in hospital with us till it was needed and till she knew I was fine. Unfortunately, for the rest of my holidays in Catania I had to stay in the hotel, lying all days in bed and take my medication. Lucia and Roberta kept bringing every day friends who were nurses all they had first aid training to do my injection. She kept checking on me and making sure that I don't leave room :) Which I find very sweet . THANK YOU Lucia for your good heart, sympathy and for your helpful hand. A big thank you for Roberta as well. I promise that I will come back to you again one day, and that in the bigger team :)) And then definitely I will visit all of Catania and the surrounding areas ! Something what I couldn't do at this time. Thank you so much !!!! P.S. Hotel was very clean, breakfast was very nice and location great. There a small bakery very close to the hotel, pharmacy, bars and pizza restaurants Very close to the main centrum.

Plussat: Giulia was a great host! Every day a clean room. Breakfast was okay.

Plussat: Many thanks for your hospitality. Both Gullia and Lucia are very nice and helpful. Very clean and comfortable room, with an air conditioner, clean bathroom with shampoo and hair dryer. Good breakfast with tasty espresso!!! Excellent!

Miinukset: Pillows were horrible!

Plussat: Great accomodation, very nice host and fine breakfast. Located in the center, close free parking and good restaurants.

Plussat: We had a very lovely stay! Lucia and her colleague were very friendly, the breakfast was very nice with lots of choice. Public car parking was free, ask the host about it more information. Location was perfect if travelling by car: 10 min walk to old historic centre. Thank you for the pleasant stay!

Plussat: Very nice place. Clean and generous breakfast offering. It’s outside city center but still very close. It’s much safer and convenient when coming by car. If anyone comes by car I recommend free parking by piazza Montessori 2 minutes away.

Miinukset: Roberta is A very helpful person.

Plussat: - Clean room - Very nice owner gave us recommendations where leave the car, eat and what is worth to see - Tasty breakfast

Miinukset: - Small window - limited air circulation - Thin walls- we heard everything single word from room next to ours

Plussat: Clean, cozy, beautiful hotel in a good location and with lovely service. An intelligent and cozy host. It was very nice to stay there.

Plussat: Good location, friendly staff, nice breakfast, parking spot in the garden/internal yard of the property.

Miinukset: Photos of the location didn't quite match the room that we've got. It was an OK room, but not as advertised. We got the room across the street in another building and not in the main one. It was nice because there was a kitchen in that another house and you could make your own lunch/dinner. Some straightforward kitchen utensils like cutting/chef's knife were missing. Also things that you'd expect to find in each and every Italian kitchen like salt, pepper and olive oil also weren't there. So didn't quite catch the concept of that kitchen - either you offer it to your guests with all basic things and utensils in it or you don't. Simple as that. Probably this is just Sicilian/southern Italian sloppiness and general "I don't give a dam" attitude. Also didn't quite understand how, but after taking a bath, there was a huge clan of water in the hallway, even though water was not overflowing from the bath tube itself.

Plussat: Good breakfast. Value for money. Staff does every for your comfort. Best place before go to etna

Plussat: The location is perfect to access Etna mountain by car in the morning. The owner was very helpful and proposed free lunch when buying cable car tickets.

Plussat: Excellent staff who spoke good English.

Plussat: Great value, quiet location, lovely staff, good breakfast

Plussat: Nice Breakfast

Miinukset: Room & bathroom are outdated. The mattress was very hard.

Plussat: Big very comfortable rooms and bed with balconie, view moutn Etna.Breakfast was very good. Location is the best close to everything.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: breakfast was good location was super

Plussat: All good, Sicilian hospitality at its best. Very good location, super central and quiet at the same time.

Plussat: Superb view and friendly helpful staff

Plussat: Location in the city center, great view from the restaurant on Etna volcano, clean rooms

Miinukset: Awful New Year dinner.. quality of food was poor - have been to 3 restaurants in Catania - you can’t even compare!
